Iran's torpedo

I would presumne no such thing. My guess is that we've been hedging our bet on Shkval's nascent technology. No word on a supercavitating torpedo, but USN does have a supercavitating bullet that can be used to blow up mines. It was developed in the late 1990s, so is probably operational by now. http://www.supercavitation.com/html/projectiles.html JD
